Editorial Reviews
Blue States third album The Soundings marks a significant change of direction both musically and in band set up. Founder member Andy Dragazis has drafted in former live band members Chris Carr and Jon Chandler to produce a record that has shifted away from his dance roots into a more indie influenced arena. Signposts point to Talk Talk and Doves, but The Soundings is more than mere imitation. Dark and personal, Blue States have finally made a masterpiece. Memphis. 2004.

Part of the Sound Healing series from Soundings of the Planet, Tao of Healing teams flautist Dean Evenson with Li Xiangting, a professor from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and an authority on the guqin, an ancient seven-string zither from China. Their collaboration, with barely perceptible support from keyboards, acoustic guitar (Scott Huckabay) and percussion, is a hushed, serene, and inviting experience--as soft as the faintest breeze felt on a peaceful, sun-warmed afternoon. Evenson's meditative flute, which rarely strays from the instrument's comfortable low and middle ranges, is the disc's prevailing voice, with Xiangting's guqin discreetly supplying tasteful, angular accents to complement the Western vibe of Evenson's reflective improvisations. At times, in fact, this calming, slow-go disc (60 minutes in length) briefly conveys traces of jazzlike harmonics (largely Huckabay's contribution) that flavors the blissful proceedings with a nice touch of musicality. A slight soundalike quality might be detected in some tracks, but this is a minor quibble. This is Evenson's first recording where natural sounds are not included, though the liner notes assert the mix makes use of "earth resonance frequency" (7.8 hertz), all to enhance a listener's attainment of an alpha state. Actually, Evenson, Xiangting, and company do a commendable job of that on their own. A strong choice for supplementing massage or meditation. --Terry WoodCustomer Reviews:
Good for pets as well as people.......2007-03-03
I can best describe the music by saying that there are no loud instruments or uptempo arrangements to distract from the relaxation experience. The melody is soothing and uncomplicated, so it works well in many settings where a quiet mood is preferable (like doggie bath day). So do something nice for your pet...and yourself...and check out this cd. Alternately, I would recommend Dean Evenson's equally pleasant "Forest Rain" cd.
nice.......2007-01-20
over several similar CDs.
Maybe its the 7.8 hertz Earth Resonance Frequency in the mix?
Can be used also when doing the 24 Form Yang style--
Although "O'Holy Night" works wonders during the Christmas season
(5 and 1/2 minutes almost fits the Form perfectly.)

Something of a "greatest hits" collection, this CD contains several tracks from previous Evenson albums, as well as several new pieces. What sets Sound Healing apart from most recordings of its ilk is that the pieces are musically sound; instead of wandering from place to place, they have a musical starting point and destination, which makes them enjoyable to listen to. Of course, this doesn't detract from Evenson's intended purpose; Sound Healing is an excellent accompaniment to meditation, with its blend of flute, harp, guitar, and natural sounds such as crashing waves and birdcalls. Whether you use them as part of a healing program or just to relax, the gentle melodies and cinematic soundscapes of Sound Healing are an evocative treat. --Genevieve WilliamsCustomer Reviews:

Album Description
"This is one of the best CDs I've heard in a long time- a compelling compliment to a massage session. The music slows down your brainwaves and induces a peaceful, calm and meditative state, which assists in healing. A must for massage therapists. - CREATIONS MAGAZINE"Serene flute melodies with tender harp, subtle keyboards and soothing guitars raise up from a backdrop of gentle nature sounds in this gorgeous release from sound healing pioneer Dean Evenson. Assembled from previous releases and also including four new compositions, this soothing collection creates a deeply relaxing atmosphere that is invaluable in increasing the healing benefits of a good therapeutic massage session. As a matter of fact, this CD creates a musical environment that is so relaxing and refreshing that it almost makes the massage table and attached masseuse obsolete! Accompanied by the phenomenal Soundings Ensemble, Dean's ethereal flute expressions take the listener on a healing voyage that quickly distances you from the troubles and concerns of daily living by the medium of his beautiful musical soundscapes. Expertly mastered to further enhance the healing qualities of Dean's flutes and keyboards, Dudley Evenson and d'Rachael's harps, Phil Heaven's viola, Scott Huckabay's guitar and Tom Barabas' piano, Sound Massage could soon stand as the premier musical release for massage therapy, stress relief and relaxation. Definitely a "must have" for massage therapists and anyone in the healing arts, Sound Massage easily receives my highest recommendation to all lovers of beautiful, peaceful music." -MUSICAL SOUNDSCAPES by Rev Robert Walmsley

Tom Barabas "Romantic Rhapsodies".......2004-07-05
Magically romantic - no fluff here..........2001-04-26
Tom added some very tasteful - and not overdone - arrangements on many of the tracks. The injection of flute, guitar and synth accent many of the pieces very well. The only negative point is that the second piece ("Shades of Love") didn't seem to fit - a bossa-nova inflected piece that sounded too much like cheap night club music, amidst 9 other *magnificent* piano tracks that take you on one of Tom's best journeys. Not a point that should stop you from adding this CD to your collection today!
Overall, I am in full agreement with the artist himself - it is truly one of his best CD's. I think he opened a door here for 'new age haters' that would have shyed away from his 'Sedona' inspired works, and created a CD of music that anyone would enjoy (without selling out!).
Rhapsodic piano music!.......2000-01-27

Ahh. or Ohm.......2007-03-30
I have given this CD (also in "tape" form) to people for gifts. Everyone has enjoyed it. Most recently, I gave a copy to my Yoga teacher. She plays it during class-Although "Sedona Suite" is "calming", it also can be mood enhancing and energyzing-Multi-purpose-
I also bought "Journey Back to Sedona"-Its okay but, I would say that this is by far Tom Barabas'es best!

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-26
Quiet, beautiful music with energy.......2005-10-10
Old Standards Never Die.......2004-10-29
Barabas uses fairly conservative classical music styling in presenting his music, often playing over orchestration. There are occasional similarities to Liszt, and a definite debt to all romantic pianists. Structured, entirely likable, but with nary a hard edge in sight. Barabas is a talented musician, and it shows in his technique more than anywhere else, where he refuses to fall into any typical, new age pattern.
The one flaw is that the music is a bit over-orchestrated and high flown. This are things that only become apparent on repeated, focused listening, and shouldn't interfere in the least with your enjoyment unless you are a purist. I'm not, and think there should be at least one Barabas album in every collection. Sedona Suite would be a good choice.

Amazon.com
This Dean Evenson release is aptly titled, for Healing Sanctuary is an album one will want to meditate or chill out to by candlelight. While the album consists of eight compositions, they form a unified whole, maintaining a feeling of peace and tranquility throughout this hourlong journey. Evenson's soothing flute leads the way, underscored by his keyboards and accompanied by harpists Dudley Evenson and d'Rachael, with occasional guitar from Scott Huckabay and viola or hammered dulcimer from Phil Heaven. They gracefully weave an aural cocoon out of the ether, opening up a private place for mental and physical relaxation. Such concepts are nothing new to the New Age world, but the lush, inviting soundscapes of Healing Sanctuary maintain their allure and offer therapeutic qualities that many like-minded efforts do not. --Bryan ReesmanAlbum Description
"Leave your anxiety, tension, stress and fear at the gate and enter a Healing Sanctuary of relaxing and releasing sound in this gorgeous release from mystical flutist, Dean Evenson. In this serene space, personal or even planetary turmoil will lose their grip on the psyche as gentle waves of peace wash over the listener. Flutes, harps, keyboards and guitars gently drift in and out, creating tranquil soundscapes that are perfect for the healing arts, meditation, relaxation and sleep time. From the opening track, the listener is immersed in Peace Like a River and worldly concerns quickly seem to vanish like a distant shoreline, leaving the listener Quietly Floating Home in the soothing sounds and subtle energies of true serenity. In this place of spirit, one can connect to the healing forces of the universe and focus them on the outer world or Mending Your Own Mind, where this release leaves us. Immediately upon hearing Healing Sanctuary, I placed it in the #1 slot of my sleep-time music set, the slot that carries me into dream and I've found it sets the mood for deeply relaxing sleep and expansive dreams. Easily, one of Dean's best works, Healing Sanctuary receives my highest recommendation to all lovers of beautiful and relaxing new age music." -MUSICAL SOUNDSCAPESCustomer Reviews:

Pure tranquility...deepening our connection to the earth..........2005-08-31
As a Reiki practitioner, I find this CD invaluable to my healing music collection. Evenson's work is unique and inspired and definitely sets a standard in the New Age genre. Even those who don't typically like New Age music should give this a listen. There is much to discover in Evenson's work. His intention to create "Peace Through Music" is evident in every track. Let the joy envelope your heart!

Just wonderfully relaxing!.......2006-12-12
Call this corny... but I recently moved into a new home and it was very important to me to 'set the right energy' for my house. I rely heavily on music to do that, so the first songs I played in the new home were really important to me. I chose Slow Samba as the second song I played (the first was "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens because it reminded me of my Grandma and the peace she brought my life.) I remember looking out over the hills and watching the sun set as Slow Samba played. Very peaceful and relaxing! I would definitely recommend this CD along with Tao of Healing.

Listening to this CD, reading poetry and soaking in an essential oil/sea salt bath is a weekly indulgence. I love the water sounds in Healing Waters and this CD always induces a deep state of relaxation. There are ocean waves, lush flutes, dreamy harps and flowing rivers. I love the way the waves sound and the way the flutes create a magical environment.

Native Flute

Sometime I fall asleep at night listening to this CD and imagine I'm in an underwater bubble with fish swimming all around. I have seen shows where they have underwater hotels like this, but so far I've only visited in my imagination.
For a deeper relaxation experience, use headphones and get into a warm comfy bed.
If you fall in love with this CD, also look for music by Tom Barabas, Scott Huckabay, Singh Kaur, Daniel Paul and Sunyata.
